Offerings

Rating:
Summary: VERY SLOW PACED MOVIE=BORING
Review: I had seen Offerings when I was younger and I'm surprised a company wasted time to make a DVD for this film. First off the plot of a pyscho escaping from a mental hospital has been done a million times(Halloween was the orginator)and at least if your going to copy a classic Horror movie have the dignity of making it enjoyable. Offerings is not enjoyable,it is a story of a boy who was pushed in a well by some kids when he was young and now he seeks revenge. The problem is that their is so much wasted time between death scenes the movie grows tiring,plus the death scenes are stupid. For instance in one scene it looks like a shotgun is walking by itself and then somebody gets shot under a bed but its censored so we don't see a thing. This movie drags on and never redeems itself for the wasted hour. SKIP THIS BAD FILM AND GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL HALLOWEEN AGAIN!

Summary: This looks very familiar
Review: I'm being generous by giving this a three star rating because I'm a huge fan of cheesy 80s slasher films. Unless you're the same, this probably won't interest you. This movie is perfect if you want to invite your friends over, drink a few beers and watch something funny. If you were to watch Offerings hoping to be wowed with the horror and violence you'd not only be disappointed, but you'd notice that the director shamelessly makes a blatant rip off of Halloween. Everything from the escape from a mental hospital, and the way the killer walks, all the way up to the climax music is identical to Halloween. Buy this if you like horror films that are funny for all the wrong reasons. If you're looking for a serious slasher to watch, I'd strongly recommend Michele Soavi's Stagefright.
